I've replaced a couple lamp protectors elsewhere.

I wouldn't call Wharfedale junk. It's usable, sounds good and reliable
and a lot less expensive than other name brands.

I consider W home stereo grade gear, not suitable for Pro Live Sound,
below behringer
Actually George, granted most of their range is typical MI stuff, some of
the Wharfedale pro stuff is pretty nice, consider the TwinX series, birch
ply cabinets and good coaxial drivers, surprisingly good sounding though
more expensive than most MI grade boxes, still not vastly overpriced.

what I got out of this thread we were talking about crappy mdf boxes

MDF has better acoustic damping (i.e. less resonance - hence better quality
sound) than straight ply.


with poorly designed passive crossovers aimed at the bottom feeder market
also it must be some European quirk as I have never seen a warfedale boxin
live sound service at any gig anywhere in the USA

Probably not promoted in the USA into the Pro market. Possibly comparable to
the better Yorkville stuff which we never see here in Europe. Seriously, some
of it's very acceptable.

Ron, was it you who mentioned the cheap Chinese NEXO 'knock-offs' ? Show George
those.
